To the youth if you adopt this attitude at some interview no matter how qualified or brilliant you are, you\u2019ll not be employed. In a way, the composure and mannerism of Martin Amidu was not the best, I found it quite disrespectful to the vetting committee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Touching on the vetting in general, Professor Gyampoh said the exercise was commendable.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/players\/3QDNxZFp-GtVgZhNx.html\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"auto\" allowfullscreen=\"\" style=\"position:absolute;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOverall it was a healthy interaction, the questions were probing and he [Amidu] had intelligent responses to those questions. If that was the yardstick to determine the win against the fight against corruption, then we\u2019ll go places in the fight against corruption.
